What this research studies
This research investigates how PTSD symptoms and alcohol use disorder affect interpersonal conflicts among veterans. It involves a sample of 250 veterans who will participate in cognitive bias modification training to help manage their symptoms. The study will collect real-time data over two years to analyze daily changes in emotional regulation, sleep disturbances, and their impact on both PTSD and alcohol use. By examining these factors, the research aims to uncover the connections between these issues at a personal level.
